Look good!

THE holiday season is a time to look good and to show off your inner and outer beauty.

It's a time to focus on yourself and your body. Whether it's keeping your skin clean and moisturized or finding the perfect outfit for that holiday party, looking good means being yourself and knowing the image you want to portray.

Not only do you want to get closer to and share good times with your family, friends or that special someone in your life, but you also want to look good--even great-doing it.

From head to toe, Procter & Gamble products, including Crest, CoverGirl makeup and Tide, will keep you looking your best for holiday parties, family gatherings or vacations.

And while you're focusing on yourself, it's important to make sure that every member of your family looks his or her best. The genius of the holiday season is that the beauty and health of individual members of the family are linked to the beauty and health of the whole family, and vice versa.

The key to looking good is preparation. Take care of yourself particularly during the holidays, so that your face is ready for the right makeup, which is an essential component for moving easily and breezily from day to night. While you may choose more conservative hues for work, you might want to spice up your look with some drama for the evening.

Whether it's daytime natural or evening dramatic, foundation is fundamental for any makeup routine. The most challenging step is finding the foundation color that blends best with your skin tone. To conquer that challenge, CoverGirl has come to the rescue with its online ColorMatch system. Through a short series of questions, CoverGirl's ColorMatch system will help you identify your perfect shade and color. Once the right color for you has been identified, try CoverGirl's Trublend Liquid Make-Up, which matches up to 97 percent of all skin tones. Apply the foundation liberally with a clean triangle to get a spectacular sheer finish.

Experts say, "Don't be afraid to experiment with makeup, and remember that less is definitely more. Go for a hint of sparkle on the lips and eyes, and a touch of blush and foundation to even skin tones."

The holiday season is a time of parties and dinners with family and friends. As you prepare for the festivities, whether it is an evening at home or a night on the town, make sure you use Crest Whitening Expressions that whitens your teeth with an unexpected brushing experience. Crest Whitening Expressions combines the whitening power of Crest with the exciting new flavor of Refreshing Vanilla Mint, a refreshing mint with a smooth vanilla taste for an inviting brushing experience.

So give yourself the gift of a new face and a new you. Check your closet for new combinations and accessories that can spice up your party look. Tide with a Touch of Downy is a great way to refresh some of those machine-washable outfits that have been hibernating all summer and fall. A combination of Tide clean with a touch of Downy softness and freshness will ensure that you arrive at every holiday gathering looking and feeling your best.
